BENEFITS  2021


Benefits 2021 provides highlights and brief descriptions of the benefits programs that are available to benefits-eligible faculty and staff of Princeton University.

This communication is intended to be a Summary of Material Modifications (SMM) for the healthcare, life insurance, retirement, and other benefits plans and programs. It briefly describes your benefits plans including any changes effective January 1, 2021. Although Princeton intends to continue these benefits, the University reserves the right to amend or terminate these plans at any time. You can find full details regarding coverage, eligibility, and limitations in the Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs) and Certificates of Coverage on our website. You may also request to receive a paper copy of an SPD or Certificate of Coverage by contacting the Benefits Team. As a requirement of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), Princeton must provide a Summary of Benefits Coverage (SBC) to all participants and their dependents. The SBC is designed to provide you with a summary about a health plan’s benefits and coverage to help you better understand and evaluate your health insurance choices. An SBC for each medical plan is available on our website. You may request a paper copy of any SBC by contacting the Benefits Team. Federal and state regulations require Princeton to provide you with certain information about your rights and responsibilities regarding benefits. This information is referred to as “administrative notices” and begins on page 41 of this booklet. These notices are also available on our website. If there are any discrepancies between the information in this publication, verbal representations, and the plan documents, the plan documents always govern. You are entitled to receive this SMM under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). You also have other important rights under ERISA. These are explained in more detail on our website.

MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR BENEFITS The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limits when you can add coverage for dependents or make changes to your healthcare, flexible spending account, and life insurance elections during the year. You have the following opportunities to elect or make changes to your benefits: • During the Annual Benefits Open Enrollment period in the fall (changes effective January 1 of the following year) or • Within 31 days, or 90 days for the birth or adoption of a child, of a Qualifying Status Event described below For more information, review the Notice of Special Enrollment Rights on page 43 or visit our website. QUALIFYING STATUS EVENT CHANGES • Marriage or divorce

CHANGES PERMITTED DURING THE YEAR WITHOUT A QUALIFYING STATUS EVENT

• Birth or adoption of a child

• Elect or change beneficiary designations

• Death of a spouse or child

• Elect, change, or waive coverage under supplemental, spousal, or child life insurance—evidence of insurability (EOI) form required when electing or increasing the supplemental and spousal life insurance coverage

• A loss or gain of benefits eligibility for yourself, a spouse, or a child • Transition from full-time to part-time status, or vice versa, that changes eligibility for benefits for you or a spouse • You or a spouse take or return from an unpaid leave of absence • Any significant change in your family’s healthcare plan coverage through a spouse’s healthcare plan If you experience a Qualifying Status Event, you must log in to HR Self Service at princeton.edu/selfservice to make changes to your coverage within 31 days, or 90 days for the birth or adoption of a child, of the date of the event. Since these changes must comply with IRS regulations, you must provide proper documentation for your change, such as a birth certificate or divorce decree, and your benefits changes must be consistent with the nature of the Qualifying Status Event. Once you log in to HR Self Service you will select Benefit Details and then Life Event or 403b Elections to make your changes. If your Qualifying Status Event is not listed in HR Self Service, contact the Benefits Team for assistance.

• Elect, change, or terminate long term care coverage—EOI required when electing or increasing coverage • Elect, change, or terminate participation in the Retirement Savings Plan • Elect, change, or terminate the Health Savings Account (HSA) if enrolled in the CDHP

Kindbody’s fertility and family planning services are available to employees and their spouses enrolled in a Princeton University medical plan. It provides medical coverage and prescriptions for up to four fertility cycles per a member’s lifetime. Additional plan details are: • Fertility services are covered in-network only at Kindbody Clinics or Kindbody’s Centers of Excellence network of partner clinics; there is no out-of-network coverage. A local clinic is located in Princeton at 16 Chambers Street. • The comprehensive suite of services available include fertility assessment, pre-conception genetic carrier screening, in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and medically necessary fertility preservation. • The applicable deductible, coinsurance, and/or copayment are based on the Princeton medical plan each employee elected and on the place of service. • All patients are assigned a dedicated and expert Patient Care Navigator who provides clinical guidance and emotional support 24/7. If you have any questions, contact Kindbody at (609) 632-1581 or employeebenefits@kindbody.com. Patient Care Navigators will explain the details of the coverage, and will assist with finding a network provider. Visit our website for additional details. ADOPTION AND SURROGACY BENEFIT Princeton’s adoption and surrogacy benefit provides eligible employees with a reimbursement up to a $20,000 lifetime limit per family. For information visit our website.


HEALTHCARE GL OSSARY Coinsurance Once you have met your annual deductible, the cost of certain services are shared between you and your medical plan. The shared amount is called coinsurance and calculated by percent—you pay a percentage and the plan pays the remaining percentage of costs for services. You continue to pay coinsurance until you reach your out-of-pocket maximum for the year. For out-of-network services, you are always responsible to pay amounts that are above reasonable and customary limits. Contribution You make contributions from pay to establish your participation in a healthcare plan and begin receiving coverage. Copayment or Copay You pay this fixed amount directly to a healthcare provider when you receive certain in-network services or products. For example, it is the amount you pay for a physician’s office visit or a prescription drug. Centers of Excellence and Institutes of Quality Princeton offers access to UnitedHealthcare Centers of Excellence (COEs) and Aetna Institutes of Quality (IOQs). COEs and IOQs provide access to leading healthcare facilities, physicians, and services with demonstrated success in care and a commitment to continuous improvement to support safe, specialized, and costeffective services. UnitedHealthcare and Aetna can provide the information you need and help guide you to a COE or IOQ that meets your specific needs.

Out-of-Pocket Maximum (OPM) This is the maximum amount of money you pay for eligible medical services in a calendar year. The OPMs for in- and outof-network coverage accumulate independently of each other. The OPM includes copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance amounts paid. Charges incurred that go above reasonable and customary fees if you choose to go out-of-network are not included in the OPM. Precertification Precertification, referred to as prior authorization under UnitedHealthcare, is authorization from your medical plan carrier that you must obtain before you receive care. If you are using an in-network provider, your physician is responsible for obtaining this authorization for you. However, if you go out-of-network, it is your responsibility to obtain precertification. Reasonable and Customary When you use out-of-network services, the maximum amount a plan will allow to be charged for a service is called “reasonable and customary.” This is determined by the insurance carrier using data provided by Fair Health, Inc. Costs above reasonable and customary are your responsibility. To search estimated reasonable and customary fees for services in your area, go to fairhealthconsumer.org or call the insurance carrier for assistance. Princeton’s medical plans reimburse at the 70 th percentile for most services. You can find more details in the Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs).

Deductible This is the amount of money you may be responsible for paying in a calendar year, depending on your medical plan, before any expenses are covered for certain services. Copays and any amounts above reasonable and customary charges do not count toward deductibles. In-Network Coverage Using in-network doctors or facilities helps you and Princeton manage costs and ensure quality care. For this reason, we provide a higher level of coverage for inpatient and outpatient procedures when you use in-network providers. Out-of-Network Coverage You may seek care from any licensed or certified physician or facility outside of a plan’s network. However, out-of-network services may or may not be covered under the plan and can cost double the amount of in-network services. For this reason, coverage provided is limited to reasonable and customary charges if the plan allows for out-of-network coverage.

If your coverage is effective between the 1st and 15th of the month, you will be charged a full month premium. If your coverage is effective between the 16th and 31st, your contribution deductions will start the following month. For example, if your coverage effective date is May 10, you will be charged the full month premium for May. If your coverage is effective May 18, you will pay your premium beginning in June. 3 Your salary tier is based on your annual base salary as of January 1, 2021, or your date of hire, if later.

DID YOU KNOW? Medical Necessity Required

Car Insurance Personal Injury Protection

All services or supplies must be medically necessary or they are not covered. For example, physical therapy needs to result in significant improvement in the member’s condition to be covered. Refer to the Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs) to determine if medical services are covered, excluded, or limited. Alternatively, contact Aetna or UnitedHealthcare for more details.

You should not elect your Princeton medical plan as your primary insurance coverage in the event of a motor vehicle accident. You should elect your motor vehicle PIP coverage as your primary coverage. If you do not elect PIP coverage as primary, and you are in a motor vehicle accident, your healthcare insurer has the right to subrogate, and any monies they paid out for claims are subject to reimbursement by you.

MEDICAL PLANS Princeton University offers several medical plan options. The medical plan benefits comparison charts on pages 14 and 15 provide an overview of coverage by plan. The contribution costs, which are deducted pretax from your pay, are on page 9. If you are in an unpaid status, the University bills you directly. There are no preexisting condition exclusions for any of our medical plans. Additional details, including Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs) and Summary of Benefits Coverages (SBCs), are available on our website. To minimize your costs, consider using the following resources: • Independent Facilities for Outpatient Services

• Independent Radiology Centers • Telemedicine

• Urgent Care Centers • Centers of Excellence and Institutes of Quality

• Health Advocate, My Health Coach, Teladoc Medical Experts, and Castlight

PREVENTIVE SERVICES

URGENT CARE CENTERS

Preventive services in the CDHP, HMO, and PHP, e.g., annual exams, colonoscopies, and mammographies, are covered at 100% in-network before deductible.

When you have an emergency that is not life-threatening, e.g., a sprain, broken bone, or are in need of stitches, you can seek medical attention at an in-network urgent care center. The cost is much less than an emergency room and wait times are often shorter.

PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE All Princeton medical plans provide prescription coverage through OptumRx. Coverage varies depending on your medical plan election.

CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE AND INSTITUTES OF QUALITY UnitedHealthcare offers access to Centers of Excellence (COEs) for cancer/oncology care, congenital heart disease (CHD), bariatric procedures, ventricular assist devices, spine and joint, transplant solutions, and neonatal resource services. Aetna offers Institutes of Quality (IOQs) for CHD, behavioral health, transplant services, bariatric surgery, and orthopedic procedures for joints and spine. Although Aetna does not offer an IOQ for cancer-related services, Aetna members have access to MSK Direct. For information, contact Aetna or UnitedHealthcare. Princeton provides an enhanced travel and lodging benefit for you and a family member whenever you use a COE or IOQ for certain medical procedures. For information, contact the Benefits Team. MEDICAL PLAN ID CARDS If you enroll in or make any changes to your medical coverage, you receive a new ID card, mailed to your home address within three to four weeks of your election. You can print a temporary ID card from your provider’s website at aetna.com/dse/princeton or myuhc.com. You receive a separate ID card for the Prescription Drug Plan. PRECERTIFICATION Various services, such as inpatient stays, certain tests, procedures, outpatient surgery, and hi-tech radiology, require precertification by Aetna or prior authorization by UnitedHealthcare. If you do not use a participating network provider (hospital, doctor, etc.), you are responsible for obtaining precertification. If you do not receive precertification, you do not receive any benefits from the CDHP or PHP. In-network providers are responsible for handling precertification, so there is no additional out-of-pocket cost to you as a result of a network provider’s failure to precertify services.

To register for any of the services below, go to teladoc.com/ princeton, call (855) TELADOC (835-2362), or download the latest Teladoc app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. GENERAL MEDICINE Teladoc’s general medicine service is a convenient and affordable option that allows you to talk to a U.S. board certified doctor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, who can diagnose, recommend treatment, and prescribe medication (when appropriate), for many medical issues.

MENTAL HEALTH Teladoc’s mental health service is a convenient option that allows participants age 18 and older to video conference with a licensed health provider – including psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors – who can provide both therapy and medication management.

DERMATOLOGY Teladoc’s board certified dermatologists will diagnose skin issues and treat common conditions like: acne, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, rash, poison ivy, skin infections, dermatitis, and more. Participants will be provided with a diagnosis and treatment plan within two business days or less. The visits are covered at the same cost as in-network in-person specialist visits. How it Works:

UTILIZING PREFERRED SPECIALISTS AND LABS Tiered Specialists Aetna and UHC maintain a list of specialist categories with innetwork preferred providers. These physicians have demonstrated higher quality and efficiency of patient care. Therefore, the costs are less. You are charged a higher amount for utilizing an in-network nonpreferred or out-of-network provider in these specialist categories. You are charged the in-network preferred copayment when you utilize in-network providers in other specialist categories not listed or in locations where no preferred providers are available. For information on costs for services, refer to the Medical Plan Benefits Comparison chart on page 14. Contact your provider, Aetna or UHC, before you seek care from a specialist. When utilizing specialists, first check to see if they are in a category that identifies in-network preferred specialist providers. Since a provider’s status can change, confirm the provider’s status prior to your appointment. Refer to page 10 for instructions on locating in-network providers in your area. Aetna preferred providers are listed as Aexcel with a blue star. UHC preferred providers are listed as Premium Tier 1. Listed in the table are the categories and locations, as of the printing of this book. For the most current list of categories and locations, contact Aetna or UHC. Aetna (Aexcel)

Categories with In-Network Preferred Specialists cardiology; cardiothoracic surgery; gastroenterology; general surgery; neurology; neurosurgery; obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN); orthopedics; otolaryngology­–ear, nose, and throat (ENT); plastic surgery; urology; and vascular surgery

Step 3. Receive an email or electronic message with your diagnosis and treatment plan. Prescriptions are sent to your local pharmacy when medically necessary.

Step 1. Request a consult, provide a description and upload images of your condition into your account online or via the Teladoc app. Step 2. A licensed dermatologist will review your photos, make a diagnosis and provide a treatment plan within 2 business days.

UHC (Premium Tier 1)

AK, HI, ME, MT, VT, and WY

Labs Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp are the preferred labs for Aetna and UHC. These labs charge less and perform a wide variety of services. If you use any other in-network lab, you are charged more and have to meet the annual deductible. There is no coverage for out-of-network lab services. Employees enrolled in Aetna and UnitedHealthcare have access to the Quest lab located in the Princeton University McCosh Health Center.


Consumer Directed Health Plan (CDHP) The Consumer Directed Health Plan (CDHP) is administered by Aetna and provides three levels of coverage: in-network preferred, in-network non-preferred, and out-of-network. Prescription drug coverage is integrated with the CDHP; see pages 17 and 18 for details. Preventive medical care is covered at 100% in-network before deductible, and coverage begins immediately for prescriptions used to treat certain chronic conditions; all other services are covered after you meet your deductible(s). This plan also includes the option for the Health Savings Account (HSA). If you are not eligible to contribute to an HSA per IRS regulations, you have the option to enroll in the Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (HFSA). For information about the HSA, refer to page 24, or for the HFSA, refer to page 25. For most in-network services, you must first meet a deductible of $1,500 for individual coverage, or $3,000 for family coverage, with your medical and prescription expenses before the CDHP starts to pay for most covered services. There is no individual deductible when you elect family coverage. If one or more family members are covered in addition to yourself, you must reach the family deductible before coverage begins. However, there is an individual out-of-pocket maximum (OPM). Therefore, once any individual covered under the plan incurs expenses that exceed the individual OPM ($3,000), covered expenses for that individual are reimbursed at 100% through the end of the calendar year, even if the full family OPM ($6,000) has not yet been met. The remaining family members would have to satisfy the remaining portion of the family OPM before their expenses are reimbursed at 100%. All out-of-network costs are subject to reasonable and customary limits. In- and out-of-network coverages have independent deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums (OPMs).

Princeton Health Plan (PHP) The PHP is administered by either Aetna or UnitedHealthcare (UHC). The PHP is a point-of-service plan, which provides three levels of coverage: in-network preferred, in-network non-preferred, and out-of-network. In-network coverage begins immediately for certain services, such as office visits and preferred provider lab tests; all other services are covered after you meet your deductible(s). Although you are not required to elect a primary care physician (PCP), we recommend you use a PCP for yourself and your family members to help manage care. You do not need a referral to visit a specialist, even if you choose a PCP. All out-of-network costs are subject to reasonable and customary limits.

For a current physician directory, refer to How to Find In-Network Providers on page 10. While under the CDHP and PHP you can choose any provider you wish, you will receive a higher level of benefits when you select an in-network provider. For the CDHP and Aetna PHP, you can search for in-network providers in Aetna’s Choice POS II (open access) network. Under the UHC PHP, you can search for in-network providers in UHC’s Choice Plus network. For information on utilizing preferred specialist and labs, see page 11 and the comparison chart on page 14. NEW HIRES You have 31 days from the date of hire to elect or waive coverage through HR Self Service. If elected, your coverage is effective on your date of hire.

HMO Plan The HMO plan is administered by Aetna and, in an HMO plan, you must select a primary care physician (PCP) from those within the HMO network to manage all your healthcare needs. To select your PCP, contact Aetna one week after enrolling. Until you make a PCP designation, Aetna designates one for you. Your PCP gives you the necessary referrals to visit a specialist. Healthcare services are covered only when provided by your selected PCP or specialist to whom you are referred. No claim forms are required. Due to California state regulations, if you reside in California, you are not able to elect coverage under the HMO plan. California residents may elect coverage under the CDHP or PHP. However, if you are on a J-1 Visa and reside in California, your only option for coverage through Princeton is the J-1 Visa Plan. For more information about the HMO, review the Patient Protection Model Disclosure on page 42 or visit our website.

J-1 Visa Plan Employees here on a J-1 visa may elect coverage from either the Aetna HMO Plan or J-1 Visa Plan. The effective date of coverage for employees on a J-1 visa is the date of hire.

J-1 VISA HOLDERS

The J-1 Visa Plan administered by Aetna is only available to nonU.S. citizens who are here on a J-1 visa. It is the default option for J-1 visa holders who do not elect a medical plan. Although you can utilize any hospital, facility, or physician of your choice, you can take advantage of Aetna’s negotiated rates, which may lower your out-of-pocket expenses, if you select a physician in Aetna’s Open Choice PPO network. Reimbursement through this plan does not begin until you or your dependents reach the annual deductible of $500 for individual or $1,000 for family. After reaching the deductible, you pay 20% for eligible services until you reach the out-of-pocket maximum of $2,500 for individuals or $5,000 for family. Reasonable and customary limits apply unless you use an in-network physician or facility. You must submit a claim form to Aetna to be reimbursed for expenses.

• Medical benefits of at least $100,000 per accident or illness with a deductible not to exceed $500 per accident or illness and

The U.S. government requires that you and your dependents have health insurance coverage for the entire time you are an exchange scholar at Princeton University. If you waive the medical coverage offered by Princeton, you must be covered for health insurance through your home country, institution, or private policy. Health insurance must provide you and your dependents with the following coverage:

• At least $50,000 for expenses associated with a medical evacuation to your home country and • At least $25,000 for the repatriation of remains Princeton provides up to $50,000 toward expenses associated with a medical evacuation to your home country and up to $25,000 for the repatriation of remains.

For details about the medical plans, visit our website. For a current physician directory, refer to How to Find In-Network Providers on page 10. Under the HMO plan, you need to search for providers in Aetna’s HMO network. Under the J-1 Visa Plan, while you can choose any provider you wish, you will receive a higher level of benefits when you select a provider in Aetna’s Open Choice PPO Network. NEW HIRES You have 31 days from the date of hire to elect or waive coverage through HR Self Service. If elected, your coverage is effective on your date of hire. If no election is made, you will not have health insurance coverage with Princeton University in 2021 unless you experience a qualifying status event. See page 4 for more details. If you are on a J-1 visa and you do not waive coverage and no election is made, you are defaulted into the J-1 Visa Plan with individual coverage only.

If the pharmacist and prescribing physician do not agree, the prescribing physician may appeal on your behalf with OptumRx. PREVENTIVE ITEMS AND SERVICES Certain prescriptions intended to prevent illness and disease, as well as contraceptives, are covered at 100%. This applies to generic and preferred brand drugs as well as some overthe-counter (OTC) drugs (prescription required). A list of preventive drugs is available on our website. This is not a comprehensive list and is subject to change as Affordable Care Act (ACA) guidelines are updated or modified. You may contact OptumRx for more

information and updates. MEMBER PAYS THE DIFFERENCE This program may impact participants who are taking a non-preferred medication. If you or your physician chooses a brand name drug that has a generic equivalent, you pay the difference between the cost of the brand name drug and the generic drug, plus the generic copay. To find the generic equivalent for the brand name drug you are taking, talk to your prescribing physician or contact OptumRx. The prescribing physician may also file a prior authorization (PA) for a clinical exception on your behalf with OptumRx. Member Pays the Difference Lipitor Gross Cost

OUT-OF-POCKET MAXIMUM (OPM) If you are enrolled under the Aetna or UnitedHealthcare Princeton Health Plan (PHP), Aetna HMO, or Aetna J-1 Visa Plan, you have a separate annual OPM under the prescription plan of $3,500 for an individual and $7,000 for family. Once the member and/ or family OPM is satisfied, no additional copayments are required for the remainder of the calendar year. If you are enrolled under the Consumer Directed Health Plan (CDHP), your OPM is integrated with your medical plan coverage. Therefore, your OPM combines your eligible prescription plan expenses plus your eligible medical plan expenses. Once you have reached your annual OPM, your eligible medical and prescription plan expenses are covered at 100% through the

end of the calendar year. GENETIC TESTING The effectiveness of some prescription medications depends on the genetic makeup of the patient. Princeton provides coverage at no cost for genetic testing.

PRESCRIPTION COVERAGE UNDER THE CDHP Prescription drug coverage is integrated with the CDHP medical coverage. This means that you pay for your non-preventive prescription drugs until you meet the CDHP deductible. Drugs that Bypass the Deductible There are certain prescription drugs that are considered “preventive” under federal guidelines. For preventive prescription drugs, you pay only the appropriate copays as they are not subject to the CDHP deductible. These copays count toward the out-of-pocket maximum (OPM). The list below, which is subject to change, provides some of the therapeutic classes of prescription drugs considered preventive under federal guidelines. Contact OptumRx for more information.

SUPPLEMENTAL HEALTH PLANS Princeton offers three supplemental health plans, through MetLife, to complement your medical plan coverage—accident, hospital indemnity, and critical illness. These insurances provide financial assistance through a lump-sum payment to spend how you like if you experience an unexpected medical event. This money can be used to cover out-of-pocket medical expenses or used to pay for food, utility bills, or any other unexpected expenses you have due to an illness or injury. Additional information about these plans is available on our website. Once enrolled in a Supplemental Health Plan, you should contact MetLife directly at (800) 438-6388 to file a claim. POLICY FEATURES • Coverage available for yourself, a spouse, and covered child(ren) • 24-hour coverage—paid benefits for accidents that occur on and off the job • No health questions or physical exams required • Premiums paid through after-tax payroll deductions • Portable coverage—you take your policy with you if you leave Princeton

ENROLLMENT AND DECISION SUPPORT To help you choose which supplemental health plan(s) are right for you and your family, licensed benefit counselors from Winston Benefits are available to provide more information or answer questions about the plans. Since these plans are administered directly through Winston Benefits, you cannot elect the plans through HR Self Service. For more information or to enroll through Winston Benefits, call (855) 393-3601, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., or visit myprincetonbenefits.com

Accident Accident insurance provides money to help you pay bills for specific injuries and events resulting from a covered accident while on- or off-the-job. Since your health insurance plan only covers certain expenses with applicable plan limits, this plan helps pay for out-of-pocket expenses that result from an accident, such as deductibles, copayments, and non-covered medical services. The plan also includes coverage for accidental death and dismemberment. You have the choice between a low or high plan option.

Critical Illness Critical Illness insurance provides a lump-sum payment when you or a covered dependent is diagnosed with a covered illness. You have the option to elect coverage at an initial benefit amount of $10,000 or $20,000, which is paid upon the first diagnosis (coverage for a spouse or child is at 50% of the initial benefit). The Plan pays a recurrence benefit for certain covered conditions. However, a recurrence benefit is only available if an initial benefit has been paid for the covered condition.

• Coronary artery bypass graft • Full benefit cancer (not all types of cancer are covered and/or are covered at a partial benefit) • Kidney failure • Stroke • Major organ transplant The plan may also pay a partial benefit, equal to 25% of the initial benefit amount, for 22 listed conditions, which include: • Multiple sclerosis

Multiply the benefit amount (e.g. $20,000) by the rates shown above, divide by $1,000, and round to two decimals to calculate the monthly rate. Your rates are based on your age as of January 1, or your date of hire, if later. For example: If you elect $20,000 of coverage and are age 50, your monthly rate would be $20,000 x $1.14 = $22,800 / 1,000 = $22.80.

• Sickle cell anemia

EXCLUSIONS

• Systemic lupus erythematosus

Although there are no pre-existing conditions exclusions for this plan, you only receive an initial benefit payment if you are diagnosed with a covered condition on or after your effective date. Also, a recurrence benefit is only available if an initial benefit has been paid for a covered condition.

DENTAL PLANS You have three dental plan options. You pay the total cost for coverage on a pretax basis. You should review your options carefully by comparing the plan features and costs and determining the network of providers available under each plan. Details about the dental plans, including Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs) for each dental plan, are available on our website. For a current directory of dentists, visit Aetna’s website at aetna.com/dse/princeton or MetLife’s website at metlife.com/mybenefits and select the PDP Plus network. If electing or currently enrolled in the MetLife Basic or High Option Dental Plan on or after January 1, 2021, your coverage remains in effect through December 31, 2022. You do not have the option to change your dental coverage until the 2023 Open Enrollment period unless you experience a qualifying status event. If you are waived from coverage or enrolled in the Aetna DMO on or after January 1, 2021, you do not have the option to elect the MetLife Basic or High Option Dental plan until the 2023 Open Enrollment period. If you are waived from coverage, you may be eligible to enroll with MetLife if you experience a qualifying event. Not all treatments are covered. Contact Aetna or MetLife for verification of coverage and pretreatment estimate prior to receiving treatment.

Basic Option PPO Plan The Basic Option PPO Plan administered by MetLife provides limited coverage for preventive and basic services only. It allows you to go in- or out-of-network; however, if you go out-of-network, reimbursement is based upon the in-network benefit rate. This plan covers all eligible preventive and diagnostic services at 100%, and basic services at 50%, up to a calendar year maximum of $2,000. Major and specialty services are not covered; however, you may receive a discount by utilizing an in-network provider.

High Option PPO Plan The High Option PPO Plan administered by MetLife provides comprehensive coverage for preventive, basic, and major services. It offers you the opportunity to receive services from a network of dentists with whom MetLife has negotiated reduced-fee schedules. However, out-of-network benefits are also available and provide you with the option to see any dentist, and reimbursement is based on reasonable and customary limits. The plan covers eligible preventive, basic, and major services, after applicable coinsurance, at a percentage of costs, up to $2,000 annually per person for in-network services or $1,500 annually per person for out-of-network services.

DMO Plan The DMO Plan administered by Aetna is an HMO-style plan that covers eligible preventive and basic services at 100%. Major services are covered at 60%. You must choose a primary care dentist from the Aetna DMO directory before you are able to utilize the coverage. All care must be coordinated through your primary care dentist. There is no coverage for out-of-network services. DENTAL PLAN ID CARDS If you elect MetLife dental plan coverage, ID cards are mailed to your home address within three to four weeks of your election. You can print a temporary ID card online at metlife.com/mybenefits. The Aetna DMO Plan does not issue ID cards since they are not needed for services. NEW HIRES You have 31 days from the date of hire to elect or waive coverage through HR Self Service. Coverage becomes effective on your date of hire. If you elect the MetLife Basic or High Option Dental Plan your coverage remains in effect through December 31, 2022. You do not have the option to change your dental coverage until the 2023 Open Enrollment period unless you experience a qualifying status event. If you waive coverage or enroll in the Aetna DMO, you will not have the option to elect the MetLife Basic or High Option Dental Plan until the 2023 Open Enrollment period. If you waive coverage, you may be eligible to enroll with MetLife if you experience a qualifying event. See page 4 for more details. If you elect coverage in the Aetna DMO Plan, you are required to elect a participating primary care dentist before you are able to utilize coverage. To elect a primary care dentist, contact Aetna.

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT If you elect coverage under the CDHP, you may also elect a Health Savings Account (HSA) administered by PayFlex. It is important to keep in mind that you can only use HSA funds after you have contributed them.

You can contribute money to your HSA on a pretax basis through payroll deductions. In 2021, you can contribute up to $3,600 for individual coverage and $7,200 for employee and child(ren), spouse, or family coverage. If you are age 55 or over, you may contribute an additional $1,000 to your HSA each year. Your unused balance accumulates year-after-year. You can manage your HSA at payflex.com. ELIGIBLE EXPENSES Expenses that may be paid through your HSA on a taxfree basis include most medical care and services; dental and vision care; prescription drugs; and premiums paid for COBRA, long-term care, and medical and prescription drug expenses as a retiree, including Medicare premiums. You can see a complete list of eligible expenses at irs.gov (Publications 969 and 502). FEATURES • You can elect, change, or terminate your HSA elections at anytime during the year by contacting the Benefits Team. • If you have an account balance of at least $1,000,

you have the option to invest among several investment options. Any earnings from your investments are automatically reinvested and grow tax-free. • The HSA and your funds stay with you even if you change health plans or leave Princeton. • You do not pay taxes on the money you withdraw to pay for current and/or future qualified healthcare expenses, including deductibles and coinsurance. EXCLUSIONS • Under IRS regulations, if you enroll in the HSA, you cannot participate in another healthcare flexible spending account (FSA). If your spouse participates in a healthcare FSA, then you are not eligible to establish or contribute to an HSA. • You are not eligible to contribute to an HSA if you are covered by another medical plan that is not an IRS-qualified CDHP, e.g., a spouse’s non-CDHP. • You are not eligible to contribute to an HSA if you are enrolled in Medicare. • For civil union or domestic partners, IRS rules do not

allow you to use your HSA to reimburse yourself for the expenses of your partner or your partner’s children. • For other exclusions, contact the Benefits Team.

PAYFLEX ID NUMBER When registering on the PayFlex website, you will need to provide your Princeton Benefits ID number located in HR Self Service under Benefit Details.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS ABOUT HSA CONTRIBUTIONS Eligibility Requirements To contribute to an HSA, you must be enrolled in a qualified high deductible health plan (HDHP). You cannot contribute to an HSA if you are enrolled in TRICARE or any part of Medicare or if you or your spouse have a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (HFSA) or Health Reimbursement Account (HRA). In addition, you cannot contribute to an HSA if you had Veterans Affairs (VA) medical benefits in the prior three months (unless you have a serviceconnected disability) or if someone claimed you as a dependent on their tax return. These rules are set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). For more information, view IRS Publication 969 on the IRS website. Customer Identification Program (CIP) Due to the USA Patriot Act to open an HSA, federal regulation requires that all individuals go through Customer Identification Program (CIP) testing to verify their identity. There are four basic elements to the CIP review: legal name, Social Security number, date of birth, and residential address. If you fail the CIP review, PayFlex reaches out to you to let you know the reason for the failure, and what documents are required. You have 90 days to respond and provide the requested information to confirm your identity. If your identity is not confirmed within 90 days, any funds in your HSA are returned. If you have questions about your HSA, contact PayFlex.

SAVINGS AND FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS

CONTRIBUTIONS


HEALTHCARE FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT The Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (HFSA) allows you to set aside money pretax to pay for health-related expenses not covered by insurance for you or your eligible dependents. The advantage this plan offers is that you pay no federal taxes on your contributions. For example, if you put in $1,000 and are in a 20% federal tax bracket, you might save $200 ($1,000 x 20% = $200). Contributions to the HFSA are subject to New Jersey State income tax. To continue contributing to your HFSA from one calendar year to the next, you must make a new election each year during Annual Benefits Open Enrollment because elections cannot automatically carry over from year-to-year. CONTRIBUTIONS You may contribute between $100 and the IRS maximum into the account. In 2020, the IRS maximum pretax limit was $2,750. The pretax limit for 2021 was not released as of the printing of this booklet. Once the pretax limit is announced, it will be updated on our website. ROLLOVER Balances of $50 or more, up to a maximum of $550, are rolled over automatically from 2020 to 2021 for active employees— whether or not you elect a new amount for 2021. Amounts under $50 or over $550 will be forfeited. You can use the rollover amount to get reimbursed for eligible medical expenses that you incur during 2021 as well as the expenses you incurred in 2020 if submitted by March 31, 2021. A participant must be active in the HFSA on the last day of the calendar year for the funds to be rolled over into the next calendar year. If your employment with Princeton

ends, expenses you incur after your termination date are ineligible for reimbursement unless you continue your HFSA through COBRA. PAYFLEX DEBIT CARD PayFlex provides one debit card per family. You can order additional cards by contacting PayFlex. When you use the card, it debits your HFSA automatically. PayFlex may contact you to request additional information to document certain services to substantiate the claim in accordance with IRS regulations. ELIGIBLE EXPENSES Expenses must be for you, a spouse, or eligible dependents. Expenses incurred for you or an eligible dependent through a benefit plan outside of Princeton University are eligible for reimbursement. For a list of eligible and ineligible expenses, visit PayFlex’s website.

For civil union or domestic partners, IRS rules do not allow you to use your HFSA to reimburse yourself for the expenses of your partner or your partner’s children. REIMBURSEMENT The annual contribution amount you elect is available to you on the effective date of the election. You may only be reimbursed for eligible expenses incurred during the calendar year and while you are contributing to the plan. If you terminate employment, expenses incurred after your termination date are not eligible for reimbursement.

authorization forms are available on our website or on PayFlex’s website. You have until March 31, 2022, to submit claims for eligible expenses you incur during the 2021 calendar year. PAYFLEX ID NUMBER When registering on the PayFlex website, you need to provide your Princeton Benefits ID number located in HR Self Service under Benefit Details.

You can view your account balance and claim activity on PayFlex’s website. To pay for or be reimbursed for an eligible expense, you can use your PayFlex debit card, file a claim online, or submit your receipt along with an HFSA claim form to PayFlex. You can arrange for direct deposit of your reimbursement. Claim and direct deposit

NEW HIRES You have 31 days from your date of hire to elect coverage through HR Self Service. Coverage becomes effective the first of the month coincident with or next following your date of hire. This is a calendar year election. For example, if you are hired on June 15, your HFSA election would be effective July 1 through December 31. You need to take this into account when estimating your expenses. PAYFLEX

DEPENDENT CARE FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT The Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DFSA) allows you to set aside money pretax to pay for childcare expenses for dependent children 12 years and under. The DFSA is not a plan to cover your dependents’ healthcare expenses. Use the HFSA for your dependents’ healthcare expenses. The advantage this plan offers is that you pay no federal taxes on your contributions. For example, if you put in $1,000 and are in a 20% federal tax bracket, you might save $200 ($1,000 x 20% = $200). Contributions to the DFSA are subject to New Jersey State income tax. Generally, the IRS requires that both you and your spouse work to qualify to contribute to the DFSA, although there are specific exceptions. To continue participation in the DFSA plan from one calendar year to the next, you must make a new election annually during Annual Benefits Open Enrollment because elections cannot automatically carry over from year-to-year. CONTRIBUTIONS You may contribute between $100 and $5,000 into the account—$2,500 if you are married and filing separately. The amount you elect is automatically deducted from your pay on a pretax basis and credited to your expense account. The IRS holds you responsible for ensuring that you and your spouse’s contributions do not exceed $5,000 in a tax year. Depending on your household income, it might be advantageous to claim childcare expenses on your federal income tax return instead of electing a DFSA. The IRS does not permit you to claim the expenses on your tax return when you use a DFSA. Consult with a tax adviser about which option is best for you. The IRS does not allow you to roll over unused funds at the end of the year—any money in your account is forfeited.

Visit PayFlex’s website at payflex.com and select Employees for tools to help you calculate contribution amounts and estimated savings. ELIGIBLE EXPENSES The account may be used to pay for eligible expenses for any dependents living with you including those who are physically or mentally unable to care for themselves and for whom you can claim as dependents as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 152. Eligible expenses include day care, a private nanny, preschool or nursery school, before- and after- school programs, and summer day camps. In order to be eligible for reimbursement, eligible expenses must be incurred during the calendar year while you are contributing to the plan.

LIFE INSURANCE Basic Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance Offered through The Hartford, Princeton University provides, at no cost to you, basic term life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance coverage until age 60 equal to one times your annual base salary, rounded up to the next $1,000, up to a maximum of $500,000. For example, if your annual base salary is $40,500, the basic term life and AD&D insurance benefit is $41,000. Life and AD&D insurance coverage increases automatically with salary increases. COVERAGE PERCENTAGE BY AGE For AD&D insurance, if you suffer the loss of your eyesight or a limb, or die as a result of an accident, this insurance pays a lump sum to you or your beneficiaries. For more information, visit Age Coverage our website. At age 60, basic life and AD&D coverage is reduced according to the chart. 60

You have 31 days from your termination date to convert your basic term and/or supplemental life insurance coverage to an individual whole life policy. Rates for conversion can be expensive because no physical examination is required and the conversion is from a group term life insurance policy to an individual whole life policy.

Business Travel Accident Insurance Princeton University provides, at no cost to you, business travel accident insurance coverage until age 60 equal to five times your annual base salary, rounded to the nearest $1,000, up to a maximum benefit of $500,000 should you die as a result of an accident while on authorized University business. At age 60, business travel accident coverage is reduced according to the schedule used for the basic life and AD&D coverage. This coverage applies only for travel on authorized University business—not travel to and from work. Traveling on University Approved Business When traveling on University-approved business outside of the U.S., benefits-eligible employees and accompanying family members are covered by an international travel medical policy. Employees are automatically enrolled into this policy. This coverage is provided for a period of up to 12 months, is separate from your regular medical coverage, and acts as your primary coverage when traveling outside of the U.S. For more information, contact Risk Management at riskmgt@princeton.edu.

The percentage of coverage in effect is recalculated as of the pay period end date in which your birthday occurs.

NEW HIRES Basic Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance You are automatically enrolled in the basic term life and AD&D insurance plan as of your date of hire. You should designate your beneficiaries in HR Self Service within 31 days of your date of hire. If you do not designate a beneficiary, The Hartford names your beneficiaries per its Preferential Beneficiary Arrangement, which designates that your life insurance is paid to your (1) surviving spouse, (2) surviving children in equal shares, (3) your surviving parents in equal shares, (4) your surviving brothers and sisters, or (5) your estate. Business Travel Accident Insurance

For example: If you earn $55,250 and turn age 68 in March 2021, your coverage is recalculated as of the pay period end date in March and your life insurance would be $55,250 x 1 = $55,250 x 42% = $23,205 rounded up to the nearest $1,000 would be $24,000.

You are automatically enrolled in this benefit on your date of hire. Your beneficiaries are the same beneficiaries selected under your basic term life and AD&D insurance coverage.


SUPPLEMENTAL LIFE INSURANCE Needs for life insurance differ for each individual or family, and those needs change over time. If you have not recently reviewed your life insurance needs, you may want to do so. Princeton’s Supplemental Term Life Insurance Plan offers you the option to purchase additional life insurance to supplement the basic term life insurance provided by the University at the rates listed below—there is a cost estimator available online at thehartford.com/cost/princeton. The cost is deducted on an after-tax basis from your pay. You can elect supplemental life insurance for up to six and one-half times your annual base salary, with a maximum payout of $1.5 million. The maximum basic and supplemental life insurance payout is $2 million. To help you evaluate your needs, there is a life insurance calculator tool available for no cost online at thehartford.com/dm/coverageadvisor/life.html. We also recommend that you discuss this topic with your financial planner. MONTHLY RATES BY AGE RANGE Age Range

For example: If you earn $55,250 and have elected three times your base salary for supplemental life insurance and your age is 35, your monthly supplemental life insurance cost is calculated as follows: $55,250 x 3 = $165,750 rounded up to the nearest $1,000, which would be $166,000, divided by $1,000 = 166 x $0.069 = $11.45.

Some elections require evidence of insurability (EOI). The EOI form is available on our website and should be submitted directly to The Hartford. The Hartford notifies you of your approval or denial or requests more information. If approved, the Benefits Team notifies you to log in to HR Self Service and elect the approved supplemental life insurance level to activate your coverage. During Open Enrollment, you may be able to elect up to one times your base salary or increase your supplemental life insurance by an additional one times your base salary provided the increase does not raise the amount of life insurance above $500,000 or three times your base salary. EOI is required for any election over three times your base salary or $500,000 in value. You have the opportunity to elect supplemental life insurance at any time during the year. However, you are required to complete and submit an EOI form to The Hartford, except as noted below in Qualifying Status Event Changes. If you are on long term disability, you may not increase your supplemental life insurance benefits until you return to active status. At age 60, supplemental life coverage is reduced using the same schedule that is used for the basic life and AD&D coverage on page 28. You can waive your participation in supplemental life insurance at any time during the year by notifying the Benefits Team. If you waive your participation and were also enrolled in the spousal or child life insurance plans, those plans also terminate. QUALIFYING STATUS EVENT CHANGES Should you experience a qualifying status event, you may be able to elect up to one times your base salary or increase your supplemental life insurance by an additional one times your base salary provided the increase does not raise the amount of life insurance above $500,000 or three times your annual base salary. EOI is required for any election over three times your base salary or over $500,000 in value. You must notify the Benefits Team within 31 days, or 90 days for the birth or adoption of a child, of a qualifying status event. WHEN YOU RETIRE OR TERMINATE EMPLOYMENT

Your enrollment in the Supplemental Life Insurance Plan terminates the day your employment ends at Princeton. You have 31 days from your termination date to convert your supplemental life insurance coverage to an individual whole life policy. Rates for conversion tend to be expensive because no physical examination is required, and the conversion is from Princeton University’s group term life insurance policy to an individual whole life policy.

NEW HIRES You have 31 days from your date of hire to elect coverage up to three times your annual base salary or a maximum life insurance amount of $500,000 without providing EOI. Coverage becomes effective the first of the month coincident with or next following your date of hire. THE HARTFORD

Spousal Life Insurance If you are enrolled in Princeton’s Supplemental Term Life Insurance Plan, you can also elect to cover your spouse with $10,000, $25,000, or $50,000 of spousal life insurance. The cost is deducted on an after-tax basis from your pay. If the amount you elect exceeds the amount of your supplemental life insurance, the spousal life insurance is incrementally decreased. For example, if the value of your own supplemental life insurance is $40,000, the highest value you may elect for spousal life insurance is $25,000. You may elect spousal life insurance at any time during the year. However, you are required to complete and submit an EOI form for your spouse to Hartford. Hartford may require you to provide additional information and will determine whether additional coverage is approved. You have 31 days from the date of marriage to elect spousal life insurance without having to submit an EOI form. The cost of spousal life insurance is based upon the spouse’s date of birth and utilizes the same rates as charged for supplemental life insurance listed on page 29. If an employee’s spouse is also a benefits-eligible employee of Princeton University and eligible for coverage under the Supplemental Term Life Insurance Plan, the employee is not eligible for spousal life insurance. According to The Hartford’s standard practice, you are covered as either an employee or a dependent, not both. If, at the time of a claim, duplicate coverage exists, The Hartford pays only one benefit.

Child Life Insurance If you are enrolled in Princeton’s Supplemental Term Life Insurance Plan, you can also elect to cover eligible dependent children with $5,000 or $10,000 of child life insurance. The cost is deducted on an after-tax basis from your pay. You may elect child life insurance at any time, and you never need to provide EOI. For the definition of a dependent child, refer to page 2. The cost per family unit is $.79/month for $10,000, or $.40/month for $5,000. You must cover all children for the same amount of life insurance—either $5,000 or $10,000. For example, if you have three children and you elect $10,000 of coverage, your monthly cost is $.79 for all three children. If both parents are employees of Princeton University and eligible for benefits, only one parent may cover the children. If, at the time of a claim, duplicate coverage exists, The Hartford pays only one benefit.

WHEN YOU RETIRE OR TERMINATE EMPLOYMENT Your enrollment in spousal and/or child life insurance through Princeton’s Supplemental Life Insurance Plan terminates the day your employment ends at Princeton. For details, see page 29. NEW HIRES Spousal Life Insurance You have 31 days from your date of hire to elect coverage without having to provide EOI. Coverage becomes effective the first of the month coincident with or next following your date of hire.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN In addition to the contributions provided through the Princeton University Retirement Plan (PURP), it is important that you also save for your future. As a 403(b) plan, the Retirement Savings Plan allows you to save additional monies for your retirement on a pretax or after-tax basis.

Upon distribution, your contributions and earnings on those contributions are distributed tax-free provided that you receive the payout after age 59½ and it has been at least five years since making your first Roth contribution. The limit on Roth contributions is the same as the pretax limit, and the two plans are combined for the purposes of the annual limit. Additional information about Roth contributions is available on our website.

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION PLAN Princeton University provides coverage under the Workers’ Compensation Plan at no cost to you. The plan provides coverage for medical treatment and wage replacement for an approved absence from work if you suffer a work-related injury, illness, or disability. Princeton’s plan complies with the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Law, is self-insured, and is managed by an independent workers’ compensation claims administrator under the direction of the University’s Office of Risk Management. For more information about workers’ compensation benefits and procedures, contact the Benefits Team or visit our website. AMOUNT OF BENEFIT

IF YOU ARE INJURED If you are injured on the job, immediately contact your supervisor and Occupational Health Services, except in an emergency situation. Go to the nearest hospital or urgent care center for an accident that occurs off hours or on a weekend, or in the case of an emergency.

The University’s Workers’ Compensation Plan provides benefits-eligible faculty and staff with income replacement at 80% of base pay in effect at the time of the injury or illness for up to 26 weeks. Casual hourly and short-term professional employees are paid at the lesser of the State weekly maximum for the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Law or 80% of weekly wages. Union employees should refer to their collective bargaining agreement.

You continue to receive contributions into the Princeton University Retirement Plan based on your income level prior to your workers’ compensation claim. TAXATION OF BENEFITS The amount of the statutory benefit, up to the State weekly maximum, is not taxable. The State weekly maximum is revised on July 1 every year. Effective July 1, 2020, the weekly maximum is $969.

DISABILITY COVERAGE Short Term Disability Plan Princeton University provides coverage under the Short Term Disability Plan at no cost to you and provides income replacement when you are unable to perform your normal job duties due to an illness, an injury, or a disability that is not related to work. This is a private New Jersey State-approved short term disability plan. BENEFITS AND APPLICATION Approved short term disability provides continued income to benefits-eligible employees according to a formula. You must apply within the first two weeks you are absent from work, and your medical provider must submit the necessary medical documentation. Employees who are not eligible for benefits, i.e., temporary workers, are eligible to apply for the New Jersey statutory benefit. You continue to receive contributions into the Princeton University Retirement Plan based on your short term disability income. For more detailed information about the Short Term Disability Plan, eligibility, benefits, and application process, visit our website.

The short term disability benefit is taxable for federal and FICA purposes. State income taxation varies by state.

The benefits paid through the Core LTD Plan will be taxable per IRS regulations. Income you receive from Social Security and Workers’ Compensation, if applicable, offsets LTD benefits received. Prior Employment and Waiving the Waiting Period If your prior employer provided LTD benefits, Princeton may be able to waive the one-year wait period.

Employment may be credited only if your employment ended less than six months before your first day of employment at Princeton, and you were enrolled in its LTD plan. To be credited for prior employment, you must have your former employer’s Human Resources department complete the Princeton University Certification of Prior Employment form located on our website. For more information about plan benefits and the waiver application process, visit our website.

The buy-up rates are listed in the chart, and the cost is deducted on an after-tax basis from your pay. You have 31 days from the date that you become eligible for the Core LTD plan to elect the LTD Buy-up Plan without going through evidence of insurability (EOI) process. You have the opportunity to apply for the LTD Buy-up at any time during the year after you become eligible for the Core LTD Plan, but you are required to apply through The Hartford’s EOI process. All enrollments into the LTD Buy-up Plan are processed by Winston Benefits. The LTD Buy-up Plan ends upon your termination or retirement from Princeton.

LE AVES OF ABSENCE New Jersey Family Leave Insurance The New Jersey Family Leave Insurance (NJFLI) law provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of paid leave to bond with their child after birth or adoption, or to care for an eligible family member with a serious health condition. NJFLI may provide up to 85% of an employee’s average weekly wages, up to a maximum amount that is set each calendar year by the state of New Jersey. NJFLI benefits are approved and paid through the state. Under state law, the University withholds a state tax from employees’ paychecks to finance this program. A notice issued by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development is on page 56. For more detailed information, on NJFLI, visit our website.

Paid Family Leave Princeton University provides up to two weeks’ paid family leave at 100 percent of base pay annually for eligible leaves, to care for a family member who has a serious health condition, to bond with a newborn, newly adopted child, or newly-placed foster child, or to care for a family member who has been a victim of domestic violence or a sexually violent offense. The definition of eligible family member includes: child, spouse, domestic partner, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, and any other person related by blood or with whom you have a close association that is the equivalent of a family relationship. The paid leave counts concurrently against the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA). For more detailed information including eligibility requirements, review policy 3.1.11 Paid Family Leave on our website.

Arranging for Care Days Employees with five years of benefits-eligible service are provided with a bank of five days to use to find and arrange care for aging and/or disabled eligible family members, including spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, parents-in-law, grandparents, grandparents-in-law, and siblings. Care services include, but are not limited, to nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home care services. For more detailed information, including eligibility requirements, review policy 3.1.13 Arranging for Care Days on our website.

GROUP LONG TE RM CARE PLAN The Group Long Term Care Plan is available to eligible employees, their spouses, parents, grandparents, parents-in-law, and grandparents-in-law. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens, have a valid Social Security number or tax identification number, and provide a U.S. mailing address to apply for coverage. You or your family members pay the full cost on an after-tax basis. Premiums for employees and their spouses are processed through an after-tax payroll deduction. Parents, grandparents, and in-laws are billed directly by Genworth. Premium rates are subject to change in the future. The Group Long Term Care Plan provides a variety of services, often referred to as “custodial care,” for people who are unable to care for themselves. Medicare and private health insurance plans or disability coverage typically do not provide coverage for long term care needs. Group long term care coverage is designed specifically to cover the costs associated with extended long term care. To receive a rate quote, enroll online, or learn more about coverage, visit genworth.com/groupltc and use group ID Princeton and access code groupltc or call Genworth at (800) 416-3624. CNA previously provided coverage to Princeton employees. If you are covered by CNA, you can call (866) 357-8481. If you apply for long term care at any time during the year, you are required to complete a full medical questionnaire, which must be approved by Genworth. NEW HIRES Group Long Term Care Plan Individuals between the ages of 18 and 65 who enroll within 31 days of the eligible employee’s hire date or upon becoming newly eligible for benefits can complete an abbreviated medical questionnaire for underwriting. Individuals over the age of 65, or those who do not apply within 31 days of their date of hire, must complete a full medical questionnaire for underwriting. Family members over the age of 75 are not eligible to apply. Coverage for eligible employees and their family members is subject to Genworth underwriting and approval is not guaranteed. GENWORTH

VOLUNTARY BENEFITS

If you have a child with a disability that requires an academic accommodation, you may be eligible to receive a taxable grant. Under certain circumstances, consideration may also be given for a child with disabilities who is taking a part-time course load, is enrolled in a certificate program instead of a degree program, or is enrolled at a non-accredited institution. This grant is considered taxable income to you and subject to withholding. Contact the Benefits Team for more information.


TAXATION OF YOUR BENEFITS Certain benefits offered to you by Princeton University may be offered pretax, after-tax, or subject to imputed income on your W-2. The list below outlines how certain benefits affect your taxable income. FORM 1095-C The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires certain employers to offer healthcare coverage to full-time employees and their dependents. Those employers must send an annual statement describing the healthcare coverage available to certain employees. As a result, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) created the Form 1095-C, an annual statement that reports the healthcare coverage offered by your employer and utilized by you during the calendar year. If you were a full-time employee for at least one month in 2020, or if you were a part-time employee who elected healthcare coverage through Princeton in 2020, you will receive your 1095-C from Princeton University on or about February 1, 2021.

• For the current year, no other taxpayer can claim them as qualifying children for federal income tax purposes We suggest that you consult a tax advisor to determine whether you may claim a dependent for tax purposes before you certify that you can. For additional information, see page 2. IMPUTED INCOME The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations require that you pay taxes on the cost or value of certain benefits provided by your employer, even though no money is received. This imputed income is added to your taxable income on your W-2 each year. Certain benefits are subject to imputed income. MEDICAL PLANS

One requirement of this document is to include Social Security numbers (SSNs) so that the IRS can tie information back to your tax records. You should make sure that you provide SSNs for yourself and/or your enrolled dependents(s) and that they are accurate. Contact the Benefits Team for assistance.

Your premiums are paid pretax and your claims are not taxable income. The employer’s subsidy of your medical premium is shown on your W-2. This is not taxable income to you; however, new healthcare regulations require that the subsidy be shown on your W-2.

NEW JERSEY INDIVIDUAL HEALTH INSURANCE MANDATE

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY RETIREMENT PLAN

The New Jersey Individual Health Insurance Mandate requires New Jersey residents without health coverage to pay a tax penalty. Under the law, New Jersey residents who are subject to the mandate and their dependents must have minimum essential coverage during each month of the year. As of the printing of this booklet, the penalty for 2020 is $695 for adults, $347.50 per child, or 2.5% of a taxpayer’s income, whichever is greater.

Contributions and related gains or losses are tax-deferred for federal, state, and FICA tax purposes.

Princeton is required to report to the state the coverage status for full-time and part-time employees who elected healthcare coverage in 2020. This information is reported to New Jersey on the IRS Form 1095-C in 2021. Additional states outside of New Jersey are implementing their own individual health insurance mandates. Therefore, if you work outside of New Jersey, you should check with your state government for information. DEFINITIONS OF “DEPENDENT” FOR TAX PURPOSES Under the definition in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code, dependents are defined as: • Members of your household who maintain their principal place of residence in your home and • You will furnish over half of their support for the year; in making this calculation, the amount you contribute toward their support must be compared with the amounts received for support by them from all other sources, including any amounts supplied by them and any earnings and

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN The current limits for calendar year 2020 are $19,500 if you are under age 50 and $26,000 if you are over age 50. These amounts may be indexed for calendar year 2021. If you split your contributions between pre- and after-tax the maximums are aggregated for the annual limits. Pretax Savings Contributions and related gains or losses are tax-deferred for federal income tax. If you live in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, the contributions are subject to state income tax. If you live in New York, your contributions are also tax-deferred for state income tax. All contributions are subject to FICA taxes. After-tax Savings Contributions are made after-tax and the earnings grow tax-free. Withdrawals after age 59½ are tax-free if the distribution is no earlier than five years after contributions were first made. LIFE INSURANCE Princeton provides, at no cost to you, basic term life insurance equal to one times your annual base salary. At age 60 the coverage is reduced by a published schedule. If this insurance is in excess


of $50,000, the IRS requires that you pay taxes on the cost of any coverage over the $50,000 threshold. This cost is imputed income on your W-2 as determined by IRS tables showing the cost of term insurance at your attained age. By paying tax on coverage over $50,000, death benefits are not subject to federal estate tax upon your death. STAFF EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE PLAN Reimbursements up to $5,250 in a calendar year (January 1–December 31) are treated as nontaxable income by the IRS. Because the Plan is administered based on the University’s fiscal year (July 1–June 30), it may be possible to receive more than $5,250 in a calendar year. When this occurs, any reimbursements exceeding $5,250 in the calendar year are considered taxable income. EMPLOYEE CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM The grant that you receive for child care under the Employee Child Care Assistance Program (ECCAP) is considered taxable income. You can use the Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account to set aside money pretax for actual dependent care expenses. For more information on ECCAP, visit our website. BACKUP CARE ADVANTAGE PROGRAM The University subsidy for each hour of backup care utilized by a faculty or staff member was $32.44 per hour in 2020. The rate will remain the same in 2021. The total value of the subsidy for the hours you used during the calendar year will be shown on your W-2. If you used the Backup Care Program for child care and the total value of the subsidy plus the amount charged to your Dependent Care Expense Account equals more than $5,000 for the year, the amount over $5,000 is considered taxable income to you in that year.

TAXATION OF YOUR BENEFITS

ADMINISTRATIVE NOTICES Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) Continuing your healthcare coverage may be necessary if your employment with the University ends or if you no longer are eligible for benefits due to reduced hours. You can buy group healthcare coverage through the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) for yourself and your eligible dependents for up to 18 months, or longer in certain cases. You are eligible to elect COBRA coverage in the following situations: Continued healthcare coverage will be available to you for up to 18 months if: • Your employment terminates (other than for gross misconduct), or • Your hours are reduced and, as a result, you are no longer eligible for healthcare coverage. Continued healthcare coverage will be available to your eligible dependents for up to 36 months if: • You die, or • You get divorced, or • Your dependents no longer qualify as covered dependents under the terms of our group policy contract. Continued healthcare coverage will be available to your eligible dependents for up to 36 months from the date you became eligible for Medicare if you become eligible for Medicare and are no longer an active employee but your spouse is under 65. You may be able to get coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace that costs less than COBRA continuation coverage. The Marketplace offers one-stop shopping to find and compare private health insurance options. In the Marketplace, you could be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premium. To find out more about the Marketplace, such as when the next open enrollment period will be and what you need to know about qualifying events and special enrollment periods, visit healthcare.gov or call (800) 318-2596. For more information about COBRA, visit our website.

Grandfathered Health Plan Notice Princeton University believes that the J-1 Visa medical plan is a grandfathered health plan under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). As permitted by the PPACA, a grandfathered health plan can preserve certain basic health coverage that was already in effect when that law was enacted. Being a grandfathered health plan means that your plan may not include certain consumer protections of the PPACA that apply to other plans, for example, the requirement for the provision of preventive health services without any cost sharing. However, grandfathered health plans must comply with certain other consumer protections in the PPACA, for example, the elimination of lifetime limits on benefits. Questions regarding which protections apply and which protections do not apply to a grandfathered health plan and what might cause a plan to change from grandfathered health plan status can be directed to the Benefits Team or to Aetna member services using the phone number on your member ID card. In addition, you may also contact the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor at (866) 444-3272 or dol.gov/ebsa/healthreform. This website has a table summarizing which protections do and do not apply to grandfathered health plans.

ACA Section 1557 Notice The Princeton University Group Benefit Plan (the “Plan”) complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex. The full notice is posted on our website. You may request to receive a paper copy of the notice by contacting the Benefits Team.

Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act If you have had or are going to have a mastectomy, you may be entitled to certain benefits under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1988 (WHCRA). For individuals receiving mastectomy-related benefits, coverage will be provided in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient for: • All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed; • Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; • Prostheses, and • Treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedema. These benefits will be provided subject to the same copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance provisions applicable to other medical and surgical benefits provided under the plan. Please refer to your Summary Plan Description (SPD) for copayment, deductible, and coinsurance information applicable to the plan in which you choose to enroll. If you would like more information on WHCRA benefits, contact the Benefits Team.

Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act Group health plans and health insurance issuers generally may not, under federal law, restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than 48 hours following a vaginal delivery, or less than 96 hours following a cesarean section. However, federal law generally does not prohibit the mother’s or newborn’s attending provider, after consulting with the mother, from discharging the mother or her newborn earlier than 48 hours or 96 hours, as applicable. In any case, plans and issuers may not, under federal law, require that a provider obtain authorization from the plan or the issuer for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours or 96 hours.

Health Insurance Marketplace Notice As a requirement of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), Princeton University must provide the Health Insurance Marketplace, formerly known as the Exchanges, notice to all employees, found on pages 52 and 53. For benefits-eligible employees, Princeton University offers options for healthcare coverage that meet the minimum value standards of the PPACA and are intended to be affordable. In addition, Princeton makes a significant contribution toward the cost of healthcare premiums, and your contributions are deducted pretax from your pay. If you have any questions on the healthcare coverage offered by Princeton University or on the notice, contact the Benefits Team at benefits@princeton.edu or (609) 258-3302.

Notice of Creditable Coverage If you are enrolled in the Aetna HMO Plan, the Aetna J-1 Visa Plan, or the Aetna or UnitedHealthcare Princeton Health Plan (PHP), the prescription drug coverage under these plans is at least as good as what is offered under Medicare Part D. Medicare calls this “Creditable Coverage.” As long as you are covered under a plan that has Creditable Coverage then you will not be penalized for enrolling at a later date as long as you enroll in Medicare Part D within 63 days of no longer having Creditable Coverage. The Notice of Creditable Coverage, found on pages 54 and 55, applies to benefits-eligible employees and their dependents who are Medicare eligible. No action is required on your part.

The Aetna HMO Plan requires the designation of a primary care physician (PCP). You have the right to designate any PCP who participates in the network and who is available to accept you or your family members. For children, you may designate a pediatrician as the PCP. Until you make this designation, Aetna will designate one for you. For information on how to select a PCP, and for a list of participating primary care providers, contact Aetna at (800) 535-6689. You do not need prior authorization from Aetna or from any other person (including a PCP) in order to obtain access to obstetrical or gynecological care from a healthcare professional in the network who specializes in obstetrics or gynecology. The healthcare professional, however, may be required to comply with certain procedures, including obtaining prior authorization for certain services, following a pre-approved treatment plan, or procedures for making referrals. For a list of participating healthcare professionals who specialize in obstetrics or gynecology, contact Aetna or go to aetna.com/dse/princeton. hr.princeton.edu/thrive

Patient Protection Model Disclosure


Notice of Special Enrollment Rights Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), you have a right to apply for healthcare coverage with Princeton University. You should read this information even if you waive coverage. If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself or your dependents in Princeton University offered healthcare coverage if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing towards you or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must contact the Benefits Team within 31 days after you or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage). In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, or adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 31 days after the marriage or within 90 days following the birth or adoption. Special enrollment rights also may exist in the following circumstances: • If you or your dependents experience a loss of eligibility for Medicaid or a state Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) coverage and you request enrollment within 60 days after that coverage ends, or • If you or your dependents become eligible for a state premium assistance subsidy through Medicaid or a state CHIP with respect to coverage under this plan and you request enrollment within 60 days after the determination of eligibility for such assistance.

New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act New Jersey Depar tment of Labor and Work force Development

New Jersey Earned Sick Leave Notice of Employee Rights

Under New Jersey’s Earned Sick Leave Law, most employees have a right to accrue up to 40 hours of earned sick leave per year. Go to https://nj.gov/labor/ to learn which employees are covered by the law. New employees must receive this written notice from their employer when they begin employment, and existing employees must receive it by November 29, 2018. Employers must also post this notice in a conspicuous and accessible place at all work sites, and provide copies to employees upon request.

YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO EARNED SICK LEAVE. Amount of Earned Sick Leave Your employer must provide up to a total of 40 hours of earned sick leave every benefit year. Your employer’s benefit year is: July 1 June 30 Start of Benefit Year: __________ End of Benefit Year: __________

Rate of Accrual You accrue earned sick leave at the rate of 1 hour for every 30 hours worked, up to a maximum of 40 hours of leave per benefit year. Alternatively, your employer can provide you with 40 hours of earned sick leave up front.

Date Accrual Begins You begin to accrue earned sick leave on October 29, 2018, or on your first day of employment, whichever is later. Exception: If you are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that was in effect on October 29, 2018, you begin to accrue earned sick leave under this law beginning on the date that the agreement expires.

Date Earned Sick Leave is Available for Use You can begin using earned sick leave accrued under this law on February 26, 2019, or the 120th calendar day after you begin employment, whichever is later. However, your employer can provide benefits that are more generous than those required under the law, and can permit you to use sick leave at an earlier date.

Acceptable Reasons to Use Earned Sick Leave You can use earned sick leave to take time off from work when: • You need diagnosis, care, treatment, or recovery for a mental or physical illness, injury, or health condition; or you need preventive medical care. • You need to care for a family member during diagnosis, care, treatment, or recovery for a mental or physical illness, injury, or health condition; or your family member needs preventive medical care. • You or a family member have been the victim of domestic violence or sexual violence and need time for treatment, counseling, or to prepare for legal proceedings.

• You need to attend school-related conferences, meetings, or events regarding your child’s education; or to attend a school-related meeting regarding your child’s health. • Your employer’s business closes due to a public health emergency or you need to care for a child whose school or child care provider closed due to a public health emergency.

Family Members The law recognizes the following individuals as “family members:” • Child (biological, adopted, or foster child; stepchild; legal ward; child of a domestic partner or civil union partner) • Grandchild

• Grandparent • Spouse, domestic partner, or civil union partner of an employee’s parent or grandparent

• Sibling

• Sibling of an employee’s spouse, domestic partner, or civil union partner

• Spouse

• Any other individual related by blood to the employee

• Domestic partner or civil union partner

• Any individual whose close association with the employee is the equivalent of family

• Parent

Advance Notice If your need for earned sick leave is foreseeable (can be planned in advance), your employer can require up to 7 days’ advance notice of your intention to use earned sick leave. If your need for earned sick leave is unforeseeable (cannot be planned in advance), your employer may require you to give notice as soon as it is practical.

Documentation Your employer can require reasonable documentation if you use earned sick leave on 3 or more consecutive work days, or on certain dates specified by the employer. The law prohibits employers from requiring your health care provider to specify the medical reason for your leave.

Unused Sick Leave Up to 40 hours of unused earned sick leave can be carried over into the next benefit year. However, your employer is only required to let you use up to 40 hours of leave per benefit year. Alternatively, your employer can offer to purchase your unused earned sick leave at the end of the benefit year.

You Have a Right to be Free from Retaliation for Using Earned Sick Leave Your employer cannot retaliate against you for: • Requesting and using earned sick leave • Filing a complaint for alleged violations of the law • Communicating with any person, including co-workers, about any violation of the law • Participating in an investigation regarding an alleged violation of the law, and • Informing another person of that person’s potential rights under the law. Retaliation includes any threat, discipline, discharge, demotion, suspension, or reduction in hours, or any other adverse employment action against you for exercising or attempting to exercise any right guaranteed under the law.

You Have a Right to File a Complaint You can file a complaint with the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development online at nj.gov/labor/wagehour/complnt/filing_wage_claim.html or by calling 609-292-2305 between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Keep a copy of this notice and all documents that show your amount of sick leave accrual and usage. You have a right to be given this notice in English and, if available, your primary language.

Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Premium Assistance Under Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children aren’t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligible for these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov. If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available. If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan. If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren’t already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272). If you live in one of the following states, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. The following list of states is current as of July 31, 2020.

Health Insurance Marketplace Notice New Health Insurance Marketplace Coverage Options and Your Health Coverage PART A: General Information When key parts of the health care law took effect in 2014, there was a new way to buy health insurance: the Health Insurance Marketplace. To assist you as you evaluate options for you and your family, this notice provides some basic information about the Marketplace and employment-based health coverage offered by your employer.

What is the Health Insurance Marketplace? The Marketplace is designed to help you find health insurance that meets your needs and fits your budget. The Marketplace offers "one-stop shopping" to find and compare private health insurance options. You may also be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premium right away. Open enrollment for health insurance coverage through the Marketplace begins in November each year for coverage starting as early as the immediately following January 1.

Can I Save Money on my Health Insurance Premiums in the Marketplace? You may qualify to save money and lower your monthly premium, but only if your employer does not offer coverage, or offers coverage that doesn't meet certain standards. The savings on your premium that you're eligible for depends on your household income.

Does Employer Health Coverage Affect Eligibility for Premium Savings through the Marketplace? Yes. If you have an offer of health coverage from your employer that meets certain standards, you will not be eligible for a tax credit through the Marketplace and may wish to enroll in your employer's health plan. However, you may be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premium, or a reduction in certain cost-sharing if your employer does not offer coverage to you at all or does not offer coverage that meets certain standards. If the cost of a plan from your employer that would cover you (and not any other members of your family) is more than 9.5% 1 of your household income for the year, or if the coverage your employer provides does not meet the "minimum value" standard set by the Affordable Care Act, you may be eligible for a tax credit. 2

Note: If you purchase a health plan through the Marketplace instead of accepting health coverage offered by your employer, then you may lose the employer contribution (if any) to the employer-offered coverage. Also, this employer contribution -as well as your employee contribution to employer-offered coverage- is often excluded from income for Federal and State income tax purposes. Your payments for coverage through the Marketplace are made on an after-tax basis.

How Can I Get More Information? For more information about your coverage offered by your employer, please check your summary plan description or contact the Benefits Team at (609) 258-3302 or benefits@princeton.edu.

The Marketplace can help you evaluate your coverage options, including your eligibility for coverage through the Marketplace and its cost. Please visit HealthCare.gov for more information, including an online application for health insurance coverage and contact information for a Health Insurance Marketplace in your area.

1 2

As that percentage is adjusted by inflation from time to time.

An employer-sponsored health plan meets the "minimum value standard" if the plan's share of the total allowed benefit costs covered by the plan is no less than 60 percent of such costs.

Benefits 2021 | 52


PART B: Information About Health Coverage Offered by Your Employer

This section contains information about any health coverage offered by your employer. If you decide to complete an application for coverage in the Marketplace, you will be asked to provide this information. This information is numbered to correspond to the Marketplace application. 3. Employer name: Princeton University

4. Employer Identification Number (EIN): 21-0634501

5. Employer address: Office of Human Resources, 100 Overlook Center 7. City 8. State Princeton NJ

6. Employer phone number: (609) 258-3302 9. Zip code 08540

10. Who can we contact about employee health coverage at this job? The Benefits Team in the Office of Human Resources. 11. Phone number (if different from above): 12. Email address: benefits@princeton.edu

The health coverage offered to you meets the minimum value standard and the cost of this coverage to you is intended to be affordable, based on employee wages. ** Even if your employer intends your coverage to be affordable, you may still be eligible for a premium discount through the Marketplace. The Marketplace will use your household income, along with other factors, to determine whether you may be eligible for a premium discount. If, for example, your wages vary from week to week (perhaps you are an hourly employee or you work on a commission basis), if you are newly employed mid-year, or if you have other income losses, you may still qualify for a premium discount.

Notice of Creditable Coverage

Important Notice from Princeton University About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare Please read this notice carefully and keep it with your other important papers. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with Princeton University and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current coverage, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice. There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage: 1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage if you join a Medicare prescription drug plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare prescription drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium. 2. Princeton University has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage will pay and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existing coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide to join a Medicare drug plan. When Can you Join a Medicare Drug Plan? You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year th th from October 15 through December 7 . You should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered, with the coverage and cost of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you will be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare Part D drug plan. What Happens to your Current Coverage if you Decide to Join a Medicare Drug Plan? If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your Princeton University coverage will not be affected. As a benefits-eligible employee you and your eligible dependents can keep your prescription plan coverage if you elect Medicare Part D and this plan will coordinate with the Part D coverage. Please remember that your prescription drug plan through Princeton University is part of your medical plan coverage. If you decide to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan and request to drop your Princeton University prescription drug coverage, be aware that you may also be dropping your medical plan coverage. If you do drop your medical and prescription plan coverage, you are your dependents will be able to re-enroll in a Princeton University medical plan at a later date. Please contact us for more information about what happens to your coverage if you enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan. When Will you Pay a Higher Premium (Penalty) to Join a Medicare Drug Plan?

Benefits 2021 | 54


You should also know that if you drop or lose your coverage with Princeton University and don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later. If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join. For more information about this notice or your current Princeton University prescription drug coverage, please contact the Benefits Team in the Office of Human Resources at (609) 258-3302 or via e-mail at benefits@princeton.edu. NOTE: You will receive this notice each year. You will also get it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if Princeton University changes its prescription drug plan coverage.

New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development New Jersey Depar tment of L abor and Work force Development

Your employer is subject to the

Family Leave Insurance

provisions of the New Jersey Temporary Disability Benefits Law New Jersey law provides up to 6 weeks of family leave insurance benefits. Beginning July 1, 2020, the law will allow up to 12 weeks of continuous family leave or 56 days of intermittent leave. Employees who are covered by family leave insurance can apply for benefits to: • bond with a child within 12 months of the child’s birth or placement by adoption or foster care. The applicant, or the applicant’s spouse or domestic or civil union partner, must be the child’s biological, adoptive or foster parent, unless a surrogate carried the child.

• care for a family member with a serious health condition. Supporting documentation from a health care provider is mandatory. • care for a victim of domestic violence or a sexually violent offence or for a victim’s family member.

“Family member” means a child, parent, parent-in-law, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, spouse, domestic partner, civil union partner, and any other person related by blood to the employee or with whom the employee has a close association that is the equivalent of a family relationship. “Child” means a biological, adopted, or foster child, stepchild or legal ward of a parent. A child gained by way of a valid written contract between the parent and a surrogate (gestational carrier) is included in this definition. State Family Leave Insurance Plan (“state plan”) You can get program information and an application for family leave benefits (form FL-1) online at myleavebenefits.nj.gov, by phone at 609-292-7060, or by mail: Division of Family Leave Insurance, P.O. Box 387, Trenton, NJ 08625-0387. New mothers who receive temporary disability benefits through the state plan for their pregnancy will get instructions on how to file for family leave benefits after the child is born. Private Family Leave Insurance Plan (“private plan”) An employer may provide family leave insurance through a private insurance carrier, if this Division approves the plan. If your employer has an approved private plan, your employer must provide information about coverage and provide the forms to apply for benefits. Who pays for Family Leave Insurance? Payroll contributions from employees finance this program. Family leave insurance coverage under the state plan will require contributions to be deducted from employee wages. The deductions must be noted on the employee’s pay envelope, paycheck, or on some other form of notice. In 2018, the taxable wage base for family leave insurance benefits is the same as the taxable wage base for unemployment and temporary disability insurance.

Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA)

Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA) Annual Notice for the Princeton University Retirement Plan and Princeton University Retirement Savings Plan Federal regulations require that plan sponsors provide retirement plan participants with notices regarding their plan features. This annual Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA) notice describes your rights and responsibilities in connection with the default investment alternative provided under each plan listed above. No action is required by you at this time, unless you would like to make changes to your elections in the plan. Direct your investments You may direct the investment of your contributions to one or more of the plan's available funds, which include a broad range of investment alternatives, intended to allow you to achieve a diversified portfolio. All investing is subject to risk, including possible loss on the money you invest. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. Your plan's default fund Your plan also designates a default fund, where your contributions will be invested if you have not made an affirmative investment election. The plan's default fund is the Vanguard Target to Retirement Funds. If you did not make an investment election, you would default into the Vanguard Target to Retirement Fund which is chosen by using the date-specific fund nearest your expected year of retirement (i.e., the year you reach age 65). Enclosed are the fund fact sheets for the Vanguard Target to Retirement Funds, which includes information about your default fund, such as the investment objective, fees and expenses, and risk and return characteristics. Investments in Vanguard Target t o Retirement Funds are subject to the risks of their underlying funds. The year in the fund name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor in the fund would retire and leave the workforce. The fund will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative ones based on its target date. An investment in a Vanguard Target t o Retirement Fund is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date. Change your investments You can redirect your future contributions and change the way your plan account balance is invested anytime, subject to each fund's trading restrictions and any purchase fees (if applicable). If you make an exchange out of the default fund, you cannot put money back into the same fund online or by phone within 30 days; however, you can always make an exchange via U.S. mail. For more information about directing the investment of your plan account, please refer to your plan's "Summary Plan Description."
